The brunette wore an oversized black sweater as she held her hands up to her face and looked at herself in the video.
Words typed onto the screen read: “I’ve been struggling a bit and it’s ok if you are too,” alongside a white heart emoji.
As Megan splashed her face with water and appeared to do her skincare routine, the caption continued: “God is working on something greater that we could ever imagine (sic).
“Just be patient!” Megan told her fans as she poked her tongue out and gave a thumbs-up to the camera.
“This is a sign you’ve been needing to see, you’re so close to your dreams,” her message continued as she filmed herself pulling back her duvet as she prepared to get into bed.

Megan’s video comes one week after she posted something else about things “out of her control” after coming in second place on American Idol.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she reshared a post of a circle graph that was titled, “Out of my control.”
The seemingly cryptic post featured a list of things that were both in and out of one’s control.

Things that one is able to control included: walking by faith, what I focus on, believing God’s word, rest, bold prayer, loving people, my actions, and taking my thoughts captive.
As for things out of one’s control, the list had written: God’s timing, changing people, outcomes, past, others’ actions, people’s perception of me, when growth happens, and the future.
Megan also shared another similar Story in the following slide, reposting an account that wrote: “A lot can happen in a month. Trust God.”
This particular post came just a few weeks after the controversial American Idol finale sparked up a bit of backlash among viewers.
WAS IT RIGHT OR RIGGED?
As Iam Tongi celebrated his life-changing win on stage with family and friends, fans jumped to social media to voice their displeasure.
“American Idol is rigged. Colin Stough was the best one out there,” one person blasted. “American Idol, I thought it was about talent.”
Another cried out: “Y’all really voted Iam? Couldn’t be me…… #Awful.”
While a third added: “Obviously the sympathy vote fix is in.”
A fourth slammed simply: “America got it wrong.”
As a fifth directed his ire toward Ryan Seacrest: “So Ryan I thought #AmericanIdol was a singing contest? Any reason why the obviously better singer did not win? Curious…just asking. Thank you.”
A few days later, Iam responded to the claims that the finale had been rigged in his favor.
He assured fans and critics alike that he doesn’t mind the negative attention – actually, he told The Daily Mail Online that he was loving it.
“A lot of people are are like, ‘Colin Stough was robbed,’ or whatever. And I just love it,” Iam said.
He credited his late father Rodney Tongi, who passed away in 2021, with preparing him for the backlash.
“My dad always told me that your music’s not meant for everyone. There’s going to be people that are not going to like it and that’s OK, that’s normal,” Iam said.
“Everyone gets their own opinion. Everyone gets to think what they think. So, it’s fine.”
